On December 26, 2019, we suddenly and unexpectedly lost one of the leaders in the field of librarianship and information in our country - Snejana Ianeva, a long-time President of the Bulgarian Library and Information Association. Her untimely death interrupted her great work not only as a skilful and inspiring leader of the association, who has been working entirely on voluntary basis, but also as an accomplished and effective Chairman of the Global Libraries - Bulgaria Foundation and as a long-time and a respected Director of the Information Resource Center at the US Embassy in Bulgaria.

Snejana Ianeva’s name will be given to the main hall at the Dimitrovgrad Library “Penio Penev”. Snejana is one of the leaders in the library-information sphere in Bulgaria, for many years an erudite and honored President of the Bulgarian Library and Information Association, Chair of the Global Libraries Foundation -Bulgaria and Director of the Information Resource Center at the USA Embassy in Bulgaria. The Municipal  Council will discuss the proposal on the forthcoming session on 24-th September. The report is presented by Gergana Krasteva - the Chairperson of the local parliament and by the President of the Municipal Commission on culture, religion and mass media.
